The smoke rising from Honey 1 BBQ Friday was no joke. TOC broke the news and Mike Sula went to report from the scene. A spiral fire broke out in the venerable Bucktown barbecue joint's chimney and worked it's way down. Owner Robert Adams, Sr. told Sula that it's uncertain when Honey 1 will reopen, depending on the damage to the pit and whether insurance puts up a fight. Adams remains optimistic. "People ain't gonna be able to do without my barbecue for that long, so I'll be back open in a hurry."

Funny story, true story...
I haven't had Honey 1 in over a year, and I was really excited to go there on Friday to pick up dinner. When I got there and it was closed I was dismayed. I thought it was the economy and all that. Now I come to find out, this fire happened on the very night that I was there trying to get some food.
That is a super-weird coincidence.
Totally bummed out.
After the less than successful transfer of ownership of Smoking Woody's on Lincoln and then the closing down of Calvin's on Armitage due to the ill-health of the owner -- now this.
I went there last Saturday looking forward to a large rib tips (the links are great as well) and the place was closed down.
All I can say is I hope it opens back up soon. Looking inside at the deserted and quite empty interior, it didn't look like there was too much damage.
Hallelujah! I just called them up and they're back in business.
Take your mother to get some BBQ!
